SPLENDID AND SKILLED PORTRAIT OF AN ERA
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Ann Blainey has done some remarkable, wonderful, and wholly original research to complete her excellent study, FANNY AND ADELAIDE. I found the book fascinating and wish I had Blainey's book in hard when I was preparing my own work on Fanny Kemble [FANNY KEMBLE'S JOURNALS AND FANNY KEMBLE'S CIVIL WARS]....I can vouch for Blainey's scholarly sensitivity and her vivid analysis: we may not agree with each other on every point, but I want to encourage those interested in this fascinating pair, those with an interest in 19th century women, and those looking for a smashing good read to buy Blainey's book!
